: Re: How to suddenly introduce a scary character, but include description? I have a scene in my story where the main character (the story is told from his POV) opens a door and there is a monster

The first time the character sees the monster, he's only going to get a few basic details. Christ, that thing is huge! It's green! and the teeth!

After he's ducked out of the way and looked back over his shoulder, then he's going to notice the matted fur, the slitted yellow eyes, the cracked horns, the sulphurous breath, et cetera. So you describe it through the POV of the character and his terror.
